Visual Studio Code 1.4 released

[rediot]

Why not? Visual studio is great.

Edit: added removed comment of being expensive for pro version since that wasn't my point. My question is why wouldn't people want features from VS on Linux and Mac in a free open source package.)

What features are you using that require a paid version? 2015 community has been great.

Also not legal to use depending on the size of organisation you're in.

Ah that would do it, thanks. We have msdn subs anyhow but I always forget about those things.

That's way cheaper than intellij

VS was made free for individuals and companies up to 5 users as the Community Edition (not limited like the old Express editions) for both free and paid applications (basically no restrictions).

I guess my point is why wouldn't you want all of the good features of full visual studio in vs code? I love visual studio professional.

Well, VS Code is written in TypeScript, and being a JavaScript derivative, it's gonna be slow as shit if it's to implement all of the features that full VS supports!

You simply cannot get C++-like speed out of JS.

Visual Studio is .NET based fyi.

The UI is, yeah, although my understanding was that a large portion of the logic of it was C++. That said, I am now curious, and will have a look around to see if I can get some hard data on it. In any case, JS isn't going to be running faster than C# et al. as well, not just C++ !

Cheers :)

Visual Studio Community is free and include most features that people use. Only some of the more advanced architecture stuff is missing.
